Debating on getting epidural or natural

Those of you who are mom's already please can you let me know how your labor went w/o epidural?  I really don't want to take it.

No lol doesn't sound ridiculous at all. As a matter of fact I've had the epidural twice and I'm very scared to get it again both times I was so scared my legs were shaking and I wasn't even doing it or maybe it was nerves lol I don't blame you

Its a wonderful experience. I can't get one at all not even an option bc my back is messed up... but let me tell you feeling everything is amazing. I will do it everytime... your body was made for child birth... I was even induced with both of mine due to medical reason and people say that it hurts worse. But I made it and loved it. I also got a mirror to watch my baby come out. Its such a wonderful feeling to push your baby out and know the pain is all worth it... now its painful don't get me wrong but that's over and your holding your baby you know it was all worth it

I might sound ridiculous but I think I'm more scared of that big needle going in on my spine than actually going through contraction pain.  I know everyones experience is different but I think I can handle giving birth natural.
